There is no cure in unlawful medicine

229. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from his brother Al-A’la, from Ismail Bin Al-Hassan Al-Mutabbab who said: I said to Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام, ‘I am a man from the Arabs and I have medicine for vision, and my medicine is the Arabic medicine, and I do not take gifts for it’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘I let the wound bleed and burn it by the fire’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘And my prescription are these toxins ‘Al-Asmahiqoun’ and ‘Al-Ghariqoun’’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘Sometimes the patient dies.' He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Even if he dies’. I said, ‘My prescription to him (the patient) is ‘Al-Nabeedh’ (Intoxicating drink)’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘There is no healing in the Prohibited (things).' Once, Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم had complained, so Ayesha said to him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, ‘You صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم have pleurisy’. So he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: ‘I صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم am more honourable to Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic that He عز وجل would involve me صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم with the pleurisy’. So he ordered patience.
